Carmela Soprano

Um, How much longer is it? The theatrical is an hour and 48 minutes, and the director's cut is just under two hours.

And there's even the opening scene, man, with Edie Falco, Carmela Soprano.

You know, she's kind of like looking at Freddie.

Oh, she was in it to go.

Can't Choate a Choater.

I'm doing the Carmela Soprano fingernails when she... [laughs]

[laughs]

Can't Choate a Choater.

I'm not saying that that doesn't happen, but th- th- there's much-

You know, I had not thought about that 'cause how many movies over the last 80 years have been about, have had a side plot about a husband who had a, a mistress and the wife knew it, but she knew that to keep w- her, you know, Carmela, Carmela Soprano on, you know, her bread buttered, she had to just get her nails done and look the other way.

The difference in this movie, and this is sort of, like, the weird thing of...

Well, it's not even weird, just sort of the twisted psychology-

Edie Falco was the same.

I remember watching Nurse Jackie, which I watched purely because I loved her so much in The Sopranos, and I thought before I started watching, "There's literally no way I'm going to be able to watch this and not just think it's Carmela Soprano working at a hospital." Not from 30 seconds into it did I think of Carmela Soprano once.

It was incredible.

Yeah, Edie Falco's incredible like that.

time.

Where do you stand on Carmela Soprano?

In the end, not a bad wife.

Not at all.

Back at the Bing, Tony tells Polly, Chris, and Silvio that Junior was behind the hit, with the guys putting together a list of who needs to be taken out before Junior can take out Tony.

Tony and Carmela talk about Livia back at home, Tony is obviously torn up about it, and Carmela's furious.

Tony wishes he never made fun of Junior for giving head, because, like I said earlier, this is where cunnilingus and psychiatry have led us.

A line so good I worked it into the summary twice.

He also tells Carmela she has to keep up appearances with Livia and Junior so nobody gets suspicious.

The next day, Tony does one of the more whimsical assassinations I've seen, taking out junior soldier Chucky Signore with a gun he was hiding in a fish, and then disposing of his body in the water with Silvio.

After that, it's back to Melfi's office, with Tony managing to talk Melfi down from calling the cops, patching things up off-screen at a nearby coffee shop, and then having a conversation at her office about the situation with his mother and the mob war.

Uh, I accidentally wrote he's not going to the insurance money, so I'm just gonna, like, keep on moving here, because that doesn't make any sense.
